One of these things is not like the other…

The other day, I looked up to see that Brianna had crawled up into the recliner, which isn’t actually used by real people, but instead holds her large stuffed animals. What was funny, is that she’d crawled up, managing to do so without dislodging any of the stuffed animals, and positioned herself among them. It was cute 🙂 Kelly mentioned elsewhere that I owe her new pictures of Brianna (aka .5) because I’m somehow responsible for some affliction she’s got now that had her going into a used bookstore and walking out with a bag of books–but having not once stepped foot in the romance section. I’m not sure how I’m responsible, but here are the request photos!

Two weeks ago, we had a playdate with Brianna’s friend Regan, and her mommy Nicole. Regan is only two weeks younger than Brianna, so they make good playmates, though Brianna is a bit more physically active than Regan (and I’m not saying that as a smug mom, but as something Nicole and I discussed while they played). I have always found Regan so adorable (she and Brianna were in tumbling class together) so I took a bunch of pictures of them. I feel compelled to mention that I’m jealous of Nicole, not just because she’s so classy and poised (and in Bermuda as I type this) but because she also works at home, but SHE has a mother’s helper who comes in half days and helps her out. Jealousy thy name is Angie 😉

I just love to see Brianna…watching her grow with each picture such fun because at this age every thing is so new and exciting. I remember those days well but I don’t envy your potty-training days…those days can be as memerable but not as much fun… :hide:

I choose to blame you cause…well cause…it’s your turn… :muahaha:

…and with the non-romance challenge pulling me toward the only non-romance book in my TBR pile (a mystery)…then dragging me (kicking and screaming) to a whole slew of mystery authors…I just told hubby I bought them because of you… :thanks:

Brianna is really growing! And she is so cute. She looks way older than two weeks more than Regan. Maybe it’s just the pics though.

I dig the jealousy thing. Sounds like Nicole has a sweet set-up. I want a housekeeper. So I am wicked jealous of all that have one. Can’t blame you for wanting a mother’s helper. If I had a kid, I’d want one too!

Yay!!! Pictures. I’m such a sucker for pictures of adorable babies. :heart:

(Jesse has that HUGE Elmo doll too lol)

Kelly, I’m enjoying non-romance month too. Though I have been reading quite a bit of non-romance, as well. I already did the challenge for the month, but I’m going to try to clear a few more from this category on my TBR shelf.

Annmarie…I COVET :giggle:

Hubby had to go to Borders today for a book…so I followed along like a good little wife… :muahaha:

I found a book I just had to have…well five but who’s counting… :bat: …one was Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, it’s hilarously true and I couldn’t put it down while I was waiting for hubby to finish looking at books. I’ll have several reviews this month for non-romance.
